Liverpool's owners Fenway Sports Group are keen to tie manager Jurgen Klopp down to a new, extended contract .

The German delivered the club's sixth European Cup, their first major trophy for seven years, in Saturday's 2-0 win over Tottenham in Madrid and guided them to a second-place finish in the Premier League with a record runners-up points tally of 97.

Klopp's current deal expires in 2022 but FSG, essentially principal owner John W Henry, chairman Tom Werner and FSG president Mike Gordon, want to secure him for longer.

"When the players threw Jurgen in the air after our victory, they were acknowledging what all Liverpool fans know - he is beloved by all who appreciate football," said Werner.

"Jurgen is a brilliant coach but, just as importantly, he is a humble and caring man who is happy today because he knows what this meant to our supporters."

For his part, Klopp was amazed by the 500,000-plus turn-out for the team's victory parade (above) in the city yesterday.

"You see in the eyes how much it means. It is really intense," he said.

Klopp believes winning his first trophy with Liverpool is only the beginning and the squad he has assembled has its best years still to come, predicting it will not be the last.
